Passage Summary: Because art critics can make you enjoy a painting more or less, they actually help determine how good the art is, alongside the artist.

Conclusion: The artistic value of a work is determined by both its creator and its critics.

Reasoning: Critics have the power to increase or decrease the amount of pleasure a viewer experiences when looking at a piece of art.

Analysis: There is a significant conceptual gap between the premise and the conclusion: the jump from 'pleasure' to 'artistic merit.' The premise establishes that critics influence our enjoyment, while the conclusion claims they influence the work's actual value. To make this argument logically sound, we need an assumption that bridges these two concepts. Look for an answer that explicitly states that the artistic merit of a work is at least partially defined by the pleasure it provides to those who view it.
